Customer, Purnima, requested the replacement of their existing tub in the second bathroom with a walk-in shower, aiming to improve accessibility while maintaining comfort for regular use. The remodel also included a walk-in tub for therapeutic soaks, though only the shower installation is visible. A clean look with low maintenance was prioritized, with Calcutta Gold-style walls selected to deliver subtle contrast. Matching features were chosen to blend style and safety.

The renovated walk-in shower showcases a bright composite wall surround in a Calcutta marble design. A full-length bench was not shown but a centrally placed ADA-rated grab bar is visible, along with a dual corner-shelf layout for storage. The fixture package includes Delta Ashlyn commercial-grade hardware in a brushed or polished chrome finish, paired with a square rain-style showerhead and handheld wand. A barn-style sliding glass door mentioned in the review is not present in the after photo, indicating this option may have been postponed or removed prior to install.
Jagger Willard of Five Star Bath Solutions introduced the Smart Choice Package, explaining the benefits of their composite wall system: six-layer antimicrobial construction, digitally scanned stone pattern, and no grout to clean. He emphasized the use of ShowerShield as a structural waterproof backer board, superior to traditional drywall or green board. The materials resist mold, discoloration, and warping over time, offering long-term reliability for aging-in-place goals.
The technical installation involved full demolition to studs and subfloor, new framing reinforcement, plumbing updates with PEX, and a textured non-slip shower base. All fixtures and safety accessories were installed with secure blocking, and all joints were sealed using marine-grade silicone. Installers also accounted for structural window framing and trimming inside the wet zone, shown neatly finished with the wall panels.
Installation was completed in phases over two to three days by in-house technicians, all background-checked and factory certified. Protective barriers were used in surrounding areas, and jobsite cleanup was completed without the need for subcontractors. Additional elements, including walk-in tub electrical support and vanity/toilet installation, were scheduled for later in the renovation timeline.
Five Star Bath Solutions provided a lifetime warranty covering product, parts, plumbing, and installation, transferable to future homeowners. The Smart Choice Package was backed by four written guarantees: Best Value, Certified Craftsman, No Surprise, and Property Protection. Jagger offered military and Flex program discounts, reducing the total from $50,036 to $47,536, with a conditional corporate upgrade that could bring the cost to $43,043 if accepted on the same day. The customer chose to evaluate other bids before finalizing.
